Rock Candy     

Ingredients:
2 wooden skewers
2 glass jars
2 cups water
3 1/2 cups sugar
food coloring

Preparation:
Wet skewers then cover them in sugar. Let them dry and set them aside.

Bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add sugar, one cup at a time, letting it dissolve completely before adding another cup. Once all the sugar has dissolved, add food coloring.

Use a funnel and carefully pour the sugar water in the jars. Then, place 1 skewer in each jar, 1 inch from the bottom. Use a clip to secure it and then, wait. And wait some more. It can take up to seven days for the crystals to really form.
